MOBILE, Alabama -- Two young Mobile men have been arrested
after police say they worked together to rob a man at gunpoint Wednesday
night.

Sanjuan Taylor, 21, and Cleveland Goodwin Jr., 16, were
arrested and charged with one count each of first-degree burglary and
first-degree robbery.

Taylor also faces one additional charge of each count stemming from a June 23 burglary at
a home on the 1700 block of Brazier Drive West, Mobile Police Department
spokeswoman Ashley Rains said.

In addition, Taylor has been charged with carrying a pistol while
forbidden after a 2011 armed robbery conviction.

According to Rains, Taylor walked into a man's bedroom on
the 4100 block of Larose Court Wednesday night, armed with a handgun.

He trapped the man in his bedroom while Goodwin took
electronics from the room. They then fled from the scene, Rains said.

The man did not know Goodwin, but Taylor had previously spent the night at the home, according to police.

On June 23, authorities were called to a home on the 1700 block of Brazier
Drive West in response to a reported robbery. A man said he answered a knock on the backdoor of his apartment and was met by Taylor, who
was armed with a handgun, Rains said.

Taylor fired a shot after the man tried to close the door on
him. He then forced his way back into the apartment, where he and the
victim tangled over the gun, according to Rains.

Taylor fired another shot and managed to steal some things
from the apartment before leaving through the backdoor, Rains said.

The victim said he knew Taylor.

According to booking records, it is the second time in recent years that Taylor has faced robbery charges.

On April 12, 2011, Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of
first-degree robbery and first-degree theft. He was given a 20-year sentence,
which was split so he only had to serve three years.

He was given one year, two months and seven days of jail credit
time, which meant he was scheduled to get out of jail on Feb. 4, 2013. He was
then put on 5 years of probation.
